Tonight's Free Music: Tony Smiley

Tony Smiley: The Loop Ninja, plays for free tonight at McMenamins.

I had a blast of a time chatting with Vancouver-area one-man rock band Tony Smiley for the feature we ran this week about his insane mastery of the loop pedals and am still wondering how the hell he makes the sounds he does.

Tonight, Smiley plays a free show (and it's all ages, kids) at McMenamins Old St. Francis School. Things get started around 7pm and if you're even moderately curious about how one man plays excellently crafted rock songs all on his lonesome with no prerecorded sounds, you'd be doing yourself a favor by checking this out.
